Uganda to exploit geothermal energy

Uganda's energy shortage can be solved by exploiting the estimated 450 MW of geothermal energy present in the nation, it has been suggested.

However, in order to realise its full potential, the government needs to inject a further $35 million (£21.3 million) in surface exploration, exploration drilling and installation of a power plant, on top of the $2 million invested since 1993.
